The Buddhist lama who founded the Nyingma Institute in Berkeley, California, in 1973, Tarthang Tulku presents this illustrated guide to the Tibetan discipline of Kum Nye—a holistic healing system that works much like yoga to free the flow of the body's energy to achieve optimum health and vitality. Combining sitting exercises and breathing techniques, self-massage and movement exercises, and stretching exercises, the book progresses through 70 relaxation routines suitable for all ages, shown in more than 200 labeled and step-by-step photographs.
